Visa Canada teams up for fintech growth with Plug and Play.

Visa Canada has partnered with venture capital and accelerator firm Plug and Play to support its entrance into the Canadian fintech market. Through the collaboration, fintechs in Canada will gain access to the scale, trust, and security of the Visa global network. They will also have the opportunity to attend exclusive events and network with potential partners. The partnership builds on Visa’s successful collaboration with Plug and Play in the US, where the two organisations launched an Inclusive Fintech Accelerator programme. The Canadian fintech industry is experiencing significant growth, with an expected compound annual growth rate of 25% through 2029. Visa’s commitment to enhancing the payment ecosystem aligns with its various programmes created to support the fintech industry, including the Fintech Fast Track programme.
